Nice vid, but in my opinion you should to drop the anchor when you heading back to the mooring and use as much anchor chain as possible. Thanks for the video.
Hello, if everything works fine, it is ok when the bathing platform is down. But if You crash into something it is big damage. So I would suggest not to open the bathing platform until the Mooring is finished
I love the time lapse from 2:40 to 2:45 where you play pin-ball and don't mind putting the fenders to good use. LOL. Bang em, and bang em again. Sometimes it is a tight squeeze
Why isn't' the vessel held in reverse to keep the stern to the shore...twice you had to pull/drive it back after establishing a good position to the shore originally?
Just curious but how can you be sure your anchor chain isn’t over top of someone else’s anchor? Seems likely that you could cross chains easily? Never done stern to mooring but am planning a trip to Croatia so will need to!
with everyone dropping the anchor chain in close proximity, how are they going to exit the mooring without getting their keels snagged on the anchor chain/lines ?
Dear friends good evening. 0:32 it is not the right way to cleat a mooring line. 1:40 mooring lines go under preexisting mooring lines. 2:11 the same thing. 2:22 an old CQR to dig in in that sea bed? Only with a lot of luck. Fair winds.
Isn't whether to go under or over preexisting stern lines only dependent on which boat is higher? That is, isn't the goal not having the stern lines touch/scuff against one another?
@@sleepyjesus7265 dear friend good evening. I am afraid that is not that way. All mooring lines even from diferent sized boats touch against each other becouse they are never tensioned completely. Boating etiquette might seem non sense to the young generation but to my days was very important. I am very sorry that my comment propably offended you. I didnt mean that. I wrote it as a friendly advise, we all keep learning.
@@nikotsalis Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry if I appeared to be offended in any way by your comment, I meant not to signal anything of that sort. My question was only raised out of curiosity towards the subject. I tend to think these things from a pragmatic viewpoint rather than a fixed etiquette or a rule book. I understand we sail in very different parts of the seas, so that part of the etiquette dictating that new lines would always go below the preexisting lines, has never reached me. If it is not too much trouble, could you please explain the reasoning for this practice, as it seems both more difficult for the crew of the second boat to do in the mooring process and quite irrelevant if the premise is that the lines would eventually scuff against each other anyway? I'm here to learn and discuss in a friendly manner, not to get offended or angry. Thank you.
@@sleepyjesus7265 Juho, the aim of putting our lines under the existing ones is to facilitate the exit of the other boat. Some kind of etiquette, really; "I came here after you, so I am not going to bother you in any way". Nothing to do with lines touching each other, they are built for this.
@@sleepyjesus7265 Dear friend good morning, I am sorry for the late reply but I was away with no internet connection. Mr Juan Domenech has absolutely right. There is nothing more pleasant to the eyes than a neat clean boat aproaching to the dock with all crew members, with t shirts and not half naked, to the right positions, with no yelling and shouting, everyone to know what to do with minimum of effort and maximum effect. The boat moors perfectly effortessly with an impecable choreografy, with respect to the other boats and to seamanship. And if they manage to do it under sail even better, they make my day!!!
It drags a little. You try to pace your movement with the speed that your windlass lets out your chain. Once you have your stern lines tied and set where you want them you set the anchor with your windlass to the appropriate tension. Setting it far out gives a better hold because the weight of the chain is also working as a anchor and keeps the bow from moving to starboard or port.
@@chefdan87 You have to move according to the needs enforced by wind. The windlass might be too slow. Far better easing the chain nut on the Windlass' axle and let it fall & control the chains speed by the Nut's clutch.
Nice video but has some wrong instructions. The most important wrong part is the anchor setting!! You should dig the anchor prior to completion of stern lines fasting. You can do that by stopping the chain Once the boat comes to the middle of the neighbor boat. Fair winds ⛵️👋
Just seen this now;somehow it was in my recommended list?! For those of you who don't know about this, the overall technique here is ok to follow ... but ... This video is NOT good instruction! The anchor needs to set before beginning final approach. I would never have used this location, either, due to the close vicinity of the outer anchored swinging yacht - what if your anchor had fouled his? Other minor flaws occurred, that other watchers have already commented on here, but this is not a good video to learn from. Why not get everything correct before filming and publishing such stuff for novices?? Why not demonstrate, to those who do not sail, or do not sail very much, how you would stern-to moor single handed; like those of us who liveaboard do regularly?

I found myself distracted by the song. Here I am dancing with my coffee instead of learning.

Yes, not going straight while stretching out the anchor chain causes trouble - especially in harbors!

Never ever put your bathing platform down when mooring to stern. One of the first basics your learn.
I love the time lapse from 2:40 to 2:45 where you play pin-ball and don't mind putting the fenders to good use. LOL. Bang em, and bang em again. Sometimes it is a tight squeeze

Good video but I didn't hear any mention of when the anchor was deployed, or maybe I just missed it? How many boat lengths out is ideal?
0:56
I've never seen any instructors teach reversing into a mooring with a lowered transom!
That is the best way to do it, I teach it all the time.
@@daveoconnor8745 So that's why I see so many dammaged bathing platforms! I'd love to see a real mooring with a proper mooring wind .
Just curious but how can you be sure your anchor chain isn’t over top of someone else’s anchor? Seems likely that you could cross chains easily? Never done stern to mooring but am planning a trip to Croatia so will need to!

So lay your anchor from downwind in an arc ? Hope you didn't get any real wind that evening.

That was probably the best possible conditions to do a stern mooring. Reverse that wind and let the fun begin....
I wasn't aware that you would need to drop the anchor so far out. Did it drag with the boat after hitting bottom of anchor where it was set?
It drags a little. You try to pace your movement with the speed that your windlass lets out your chain.

This ting is Wella decent
0:30 WTF
It's obvious you do not need to be doing any docking instructing.
Saxophone!!!!
is this a to not how to video?
Better w/o the annoying noise
